Marine Vibrio Biocatalysts as Unique Green Transformation (GX) Tools at the Time to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Summary
This review paper rounds up recent research on Vibrio bacteria—yes, the same family that includes some foodborne illness culprits—showing how their unusual genetic flexibility could be harnessed to tackle plastic pollution and produce cleaner energy. Scientists are exploring how to turn these ocean microbes into tools that break down waste, which matters because less plastic pollution in our oceans could mean fewer microplastics working their way into the seafood and water we consume. It's early-stage research summarizing potential applications, not a finished solution, but it highlights a promising direction for using nature's own microbes to address environmental problems that
Vibrios have sustained various types of ocean ecosystems, being key players in marine mineral cycles and essential partners in specific groups of marine life. Observed genome plasticity and metabolic versatility are some of the unique biological features of vibrios, and these traits could contribute in expanding their ecological niche in marine environments. Vibrios are now recognized as ecophysiologically essential microbial species for our planet. At the time to "Sustainable Development Goals" (SDGs), their genome plasticity and metabolic versatility have also been studied with the aim of solving global issues such as energy production and plastic pollution by creating new microbial biocatalysts. Here, we introduce recent progress on the application of vibrios aiming towards green transformation (GX).
